The samaritan Chief visits London.

There is now in London the sheik OF the an
Gent Samaritan people, Jacob-esh-S hellaby.
Any one who has been at Nabous Will re-
member the beautiful valley and the little
town nesting among the gardens under the
slopes of Gerizim, where the Turkish gov
ernor's house stands conspicuous; nor will he
have forgotten the quaint and venerable little
synagogue, which is the religious home of
these Samaritans. The present head OF the
community was elected in 1874 His people
now number only 1856. He is the patriarch of
his clan.
"Al we Samaritans," he says, in his broken
English, zone family" The object of his
visit is to raise sum of e200 to redeem some
land belonging to his community, recently
mortgaged on ruinous terms to meet the
Turkish exactions. OF late years these have
become unusually severe. Governor, he
take one taxes, two taxes, three taxes, four
taxes all in one year. But the sultan, he get
very little of the moneyw The land yields
corn, grass cotton and other crops. There is
scarcely any trade in Nablous. One Or two
of the Samaritans deal in stuffs from Da1nas-
Gus A few others carry vegetables and such
like garden produce on donkey back from the
valley to the billy villages around. But
without their land their means Of living are
seriously diminished, ara the Danger Oh eA-
tinction presses on the tribe. Sheik Shellaby
is known to Canon Liddon, who has helped
him with donation of e5 and a hearty letter
of commentator.
The Catholics have not unnatrlrally de-
clined to aid, and even the liberal Jews still
prefer to have no dealings with the Samari-
tans. The matter presses. Shellaby has
been in London for seven weeks, in a disna1e
attic in by street off Fitzroy square. So

who may have witnessed the accident are

''Where do all the pins 90 to-" asked

''what becomes of all the dead birds. p
l asked in reply This brief colo luy
led me to try an experiment Having a
day at my disposal, in consequence OF a
slight indisposition, and the weather be-
ing fine. determined to devote a whole
day to looking for waste pins and dead
birds. first hunted all over the floor
of my room for pins, and as | passed out
of the house made a search along all the
halls and at the front door: but could
not find q pin. then walked along the
street all the morning, looking for pins
and dead bird but found none. In the
afternoon took in several of the parks.
hunted near the seats for pins, and
under all the trees and in the crevices of
fences for birds, but all in vain.
Toward evening l realized how bene-
fetal it is to walk with an object but
did not have a single pin or bird to
show for my hunt. l was compelled to
admit that it was something of puzzle
to tell what became of them. Not, how
ever, that l never see a stray pin or a
dead sparrow. | have met with num-
Der of people who never saw a dead goat
or a dead mule, but everybody Inns
picked up pin, and at long intervals
seen a dead bird. The puzzle Is that,
while so many millions of pins and birds
must be gotten away with every day, we
find so few Of them. BY the way, |
think l never saw dead pigeon in my
life Chicago journal.
